I open a farm in the world of cultivation

"Well, I want this sapling. Here are the spirit stones!" Wang Hao happily took out the spirit stones and took the sapling.

There were not many spirit stones left in his hand, and he was not interested in shopping anymore, so he walked towards Wang's medicine shop!

If you want to buy medicine, you must take care of Lao Wang's business.

Wang Hao swaggered into Wang's shop, and someone immediately came forward to greet him warmly. Wang Hao knew this person. His name was Wang Wenxin, one generation lower than Lao Wang. If he went back to Wang's house, he would also add a character to his name.

"Daoyou, are you buying elixirs, talismans, or selling things? Our store has everything from first-level elixirs to talismans. We purchase elixirs in large quantities, and we give preferential treatment for large quantities."

Wang Hao wore a bamboo hat and said, regardless of whether he recognized him or not, "Give me two bottles of Juling Dan and one bottle of Huangya Dan!"

Juling Dan and Huangya Dan have the same effect, both of which are used to improve cultivation. The difference is that Juling Dan can be used by cultivators in the early and middle stages of Qi training, while Huangya Dan is only suitable for cultivators in the middle stage. As for the efficacy, Huangya Dan is naturally slightly stronger!

When he heard that he wanted three bottles of elixirs, Wang Wenxin smiled even more and said respectfully, "A total of one hundred spiritual stones. I will give you a discount and only charge you ninety-five spiritual stones. When you buy elixirs in the future, just come to my Wang's store. I will never let you suffer a loss!"

Wang Hao took out the spiritual stones and handed them to Wang Wenxin.

Wang Wenxin smiled so hard that his eyes were invisible. He handed the pill to Wang Hao and took out an iron token, saying, "Welcome to come again, fellow Taoist. Those who hold this token are our VIPs and can enjoy discounts."

Wang Hao laughed in his heart: You are quite good at talking. If you knew who I was, I'm afraid you would give me the discount!

Wang Hao turned around and left the store. He didn't think about the Red Gold Sword anymore. He only had a few spiritual stones left. If he didn't have a farm, he wouldn't be able to afford spiritual rice!

Chapter 9 Trying to make pills

What Wang Hao didn't know was that everything he did in the store was seen by Wang Yanzhao on the second floor!

"Second brother, are you relieved now?" A young man sitting on the other side of the table spoke up. This man is called Wang Yanfeng, with three spiritual roots and the seventh level of Qi training. He is the eighth in the Wang family's Yan generation and is also an alchemist. However, his talent is much worse than Wang Yanzhao's. He can only refine first-level pills. After Wang Yanzhao's ninth level of Qi training, his cultivation level could not be improved. He focused on refining pills and broke through to the second-level lower-grade alchemist half a year ago!

Wang Yanfeng came here to take over Wang Yanzhao's shop in the market, while Wang Yanzhao was preparing to return to the family residence to wait for the foundation-building pill to build the foundation!

Wang Yanzhao sighed slightly: "Hey, I hope he can hold on longer this time. Eighth brother, I won't hide it from you. This kid has practiced in seclusion in the past, but he could only hold on for half a year at most!"

Wang Yanfeng smiled and said: "Second brother, you have also seen that nephew Hao is now at the fourth level of Qi training. This time he came to buy pills. I think he has really learned it well! Besides, I am still here to take care of him, so don't worry, second brother!"

Wang Yanzhao nodded helplessly. He had no choice. He couldn't protect Wang Hao for his whole life. Wang Hao looked like he had learned well, but what Wang Yanfeng didn't know was that he only left Wang Hao 100 spirit stones. Now he bought all the pills. After eating them, he couldn't advance to the fifth level of Qi training. When there was no pill to help him, Wang Hao could still endure the hardship of practicing with five spirit roots at a snail's pace?

"Everything is up to me, my eighth brother. You don't have to look after him. Just don't let him cause any trouble or kill him!"

"Second brother, you are too kind. After all, he is the blood of my Wang family. How can I, as his uncle, let anyone kill him?"

After saying goodbye, Wang Yanzhao took another look at Wang Hao's back, and then left Qingniufang City with other family members.

After Wang Hao advanced to the middle stage of Qi training, his speed of refining pills increased a lot. These three bottles of pills were enough for him to practice for more than five months. However, he got a lot of seeds for free in the square this time, including one called white jade watermelon.

This thing consumes a lot of land. It takes a year for a general first-level spiritual field to recover after planting one crop. Therefore, although it has the effect of improving cultivation, there are very few people who plant it. Because in terms of efficiency, it is indeed not as cost-effective as planting other spiritual herbs to refine pills.

Wang Hao's farm is obviously not afraid of this. The planting period of white jade watermelon is not long, and it can be harvested in one year, but the medicinal effect is a bit poor. The medicinal effect of one watermelon is about 80% of that of Juling Pill. Because it needs a lot of spiritual power to grow, a maximum of 20 plants can be planted per acre, and each plant can only produce one white jade watermelon!

This benefit is still very low. The medicinal power is not as good as the Juling Pill, and the price is not as good. Even with the blessing of taste, the income per acre is at most 50 spiritual stones!

Planting spiritual rice can also earn 30 spiritual stones per acre per year, and there is no risk of soil exhaustion. You can imagine how to choose!

But Wang Hao doesn't care. He wants to reduce external purchases as much as possible, reduce his sense of existence, and survive until the late stage of Qi training!

Although using white jade watermelon to assist in cultivation will be slower than Juling Pill, it is no problem to advance to the fifth level of Qi training in about a year. This cultivation speed is already very fast. It is not as fast as the Tianling root, but it is faster than some second spiritual roots without pills. Of course, under the same cultivation conditions, it is still not as fast as others. The talent is here, there is no way!

Wang Hao quickly returned to the courtyard and planted the purchased spiritual plants and seeds in the vegetable garden. His few acres of land are also spiritual fields, and he is idle.

As for the farm, seeds from outside cannot be brought in, so Wang Hao still has to buy them again in the mall. Well, this is in line with the nature of Penguin Games, so rip-off!

Clicking in, I saw that the price of the golden silk apricot seeds was thirty spirit stones, which was really unfair. However, this was a perennial spirit plant, planted once and harvested many times. According to the lifespan of a first-level spirit plant of up to a hundred years, this golden silk apricot could survive for ten years in Wang Hao's farm.

The spirit apricot tree grew in fifteen years, and then bloomed and bore fruit every five years, so he could harvest seventeen times!

Each of the Wang family's golden silk apricot trees produced only five or six fruits at a time. The farm should have reached its maximum output, which should be more, but I don't think it would exceed ten!

After clicking to sow, Wang Hao found that there were three seeds distributed in a triangle in that grid of land, which meant that one acre of land could grow three spirit apricot trees, which was enough for his cultivation in the late stage of Qi training!

So Wang Hao planted one acre of white jade watermelon on each of the remaining three plots of land, and chose the most economically efficient spirit grass for the other two plots to develop the remaining land!

After arranging these trivial matters, Wang Hao practiced for another month. The effect of taking pills was much worse than when he was in the third level of Qi training. When he was in the third level of Qi training, he used the Juling Pill to practice, and he could expand the Dantian capacity a little in less than three days, but now he needs five days.

And the speed of refining pills has also become faster. In the past, it took six days to refine a Juling Pill, but now it only takes five days.

This caused Wang Hao's original calculations to be in vain. The amount of pills he needed to break through the fifth level increased greatly!

Although the white jade watermelon was ripe, Wang Hao did not feel too happy, because he had already refined a white jade watermelon, and the effect was not satisfactory, so refining pills was imminent!

The farm's spiritual stones could not be taken out, and the spiritual apricots would take more than a year to mature. Moreover, even if the spiritual apricots were ripe, wouldn't he need spiritual stones to buy other things?

Magical instruments, spiritual talismans, and foundation-building pills!

Selling a large amount of spiritual rice and spiritual medicines at once would easily arouse others' suspicion and easily expose the secrets of the farm. It would be much better if he changed to selling pills. After all, spiritual rice and spiritual medicine are not easy to sell to casual cultivators, but pills are needed by everyone. He only needs to sell at a lower price than the store. Isn't it easy to earn some spiritual stones?

Wang Hao did it as he said. He took out the jade slip left by Wang Yanzhao and checked it carefully.

Wang Yanzhao gave him three first-level pill recipes, namely the entry-level pill Bigu Pill, the first-level low-grade pill Juling Pill, and the first-level medium-grade pill Huangya Pill.

These three pill recipes are not precious and can be found in the market. Wang Yanzhao probably chose them because he thought these three pills are easy to refine. Even the first-level medium-grade Huangya Pill only needs three spiritual medicines!

Alchemy can be roughly divided into three steps. The first is to refine the spiritual medicine into liquid medicine, the second is fusion, and the third is to condense the pill.

The difficulty of the first and second steps will be greatly reduced if fewer spiritual medicines are required!

The jade slips left by Wang Yanzhao not only contain the introduction of the recipe and refining method, but also his own experience in refining, which can be regarded as well-intentioned!

There are also several kinds of Bigu Pills, but Wang Hao only chose the simplest one for the beginner, and the only material is spiritual rice!

After Wang Hao found that the white jade watermelon was not suitable for his practice, he no longer planted it. Now the land is planted with spiritual rice. One hundred kilograms in ten days, it can be used for refining pills, and it is still okay if it is used sparingly!

Moreover, the benefits of the spiritual grass are good. He can open up the next piece of land in another month. With more land, raw materials are naturally not a problem!

During the Qi Refining Period, alchemists usually choose to use earth fire to make pills, but unfortunately there is no earth fire in the entire Qingniufang. If you want to use earth fire, you can only go to Qingyuanmen, and the rent is not cheap. Wang Hao can only use spiritual carbon instead.

Chapter 10: The Fasting Pill is Made

Wang Hao sat down on the cushion, first condensed his qi and calmed his mind, and then pinched his hands to ignite the spiritual carbon. The spiritual carbon immediately shone brightly, and a finger-thick red flame jumped up. This was obviously not enough for alchemy. Wang Hao took out five more pieces of spiritual carbon and put them in, so six red flames finally condensed together at the bottom of the pill furnace.

It has been said before that the process of alchemy is not complicated, but there are not many people who can really make pills. After all, the successful refining of pills requires the ability of the alchemist in material preparation, temperature control, and furnace time.

Among them, the temperature control screens out most of the cultivators except for the fire spirit root, of course, it does not exclude some extraordinary talents.

Learning to make pills requires a lot of spirit stones, and only wealthy cultivators can afford the spirit stones spent on learning to make pills.

The Wang family, which is so big, enjoys one-fifth of the income of Qingniufang, but has only trained four alchemists?

Putting aside distractions, Wang Hao continued to make pills. The first step was to wash the spirit rice and then peel it one by one! This is very simple. The second step is to put the peeled spirit rice into the pot, no, the alchemy furnace, and slowly extract the essence from it with a low fire. This step is not difficult!

Then Wang Hao found that the pot was burnt...

"It's the first time, I'm not skilled, it's normal," Wang Hao comforted himself.

After reducing the amount of spiritual carbon and lowering the heat, Wang Hao continued, and then it got burnt again...

"Emm, it's really challenging!"

After lowering the heat again, Wang Hao put the processed spiritual rice into the alchemy furnace again. This time, there was no burnt smell. Wang Hao's face lit up, and he pinched his fingers with one hand, pointed at the alchemy furnace, and the lid flew up and closed steadily.

Although there was a lid blocking it, the spiritual consciousness of the immortal cultivator was not blocked, and Wang Hao could still observe the situation inside. He saw that the spiritual rice gradually melted under the high temperature baking, forming a sticky white juice.

As time passed, the water in the juice slowly evaporated, and the remaining was the essence. A faint fragrance floated out of the alchemy furnace.

"This first stage is complete. According to Lao Wang's notes, the next step is to increase the heat and rotate the essence into groups to evaporate the remaining water and turn it into a pill!"

Wang Hao's technique changed, and the flames on the spiritual carbon suddenly more than doubled in size, and the billowing flames flooded the alchemy furnace.

As time goes by, the aroma becomes stronger and stronger! Wang Hao feels that he is not far from success!

As a result, a quarter of an hour later, the alchemy furnace shook violently, a muffled sound was heard, and then thick yellow smoke rose...

"Is this a furnace explosion?" Wang Hao was speechless for a moment, then he brought the alchemy furnace in front of him and observed it carefully. He saw that the entire alchemy furnace was in a mess, with a lot of dark brown stickiness sticking around it and exuding a smell. Burnt taste.

Wang Hao sighed, "Is it so difficult?" He shook his head and began to carefully recall the steps of alchemy. They were all strictly according to what Lao Wang recorded. However, Lao Wang only said what the state should be like. It's an abstraction. Wang Hao thought to himself, it would be great if there were specific data. How many degrees and how long would it take to refine the elixir in minutes?

There is no way, these immortal cultivators obviously do not have this concept. The experience of the predecessors is only used as a reference. Whether it can be done depends entirely on the operator's understanding!

Wang Hao obviously doesn't think he is a genius, so he should practice more.

Continue to cleanse the spiritual rice and control the heat to condense the essence!

There was no explosion this time, but the temperature was still high. When Wang Hao opened the alchemy furnace, he saw nothing but darkness!

The fifth time, due to insufficient temperature, there was no elixir, and there were only three soft yellow mud-like objects!

The sixth time, the elixir was finally made, but the heat was too much and the elixir smelled so burnt that it was impossible to eat it!

Wang Hao sighed and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Let's stop here today. Although we haven't succeeded, we are not far away!"

At this moment, his mana was exhausted and it was impossible to continue. However, Wang Hao still accumulated a lot of experience during this afternoon's practice.

For example, the condensing liquid medicine in the first step is already very familiar. Since Bigu Dan has only one ingredient, the mixing liquid medicine in the second step is omitted.

He has roughly mastered the required fire temperature range after four failures in the step of making the pill. He can't guarantee that he will make the pill next time, but if he is given three or four more times, he will definitely succeed!

Wang Hao was not depressed, just like the starship failed dozens of times, he would always say: "At least we got the data!".

Wang Hao dragged his tired body to eat in a hurry, and then fell into a deep sleep.

Since he came to this world, he has been practicing hard and resting for two or three hours at most every day, and this time, he slept for a full night.

During this period, he also had a dream, in which he dreamed that he had successfully built the foundation and had mastered alchemy. There was a long line of people at the door asking him to make alchemy...

On the second day, Wang Hao did not continue to try to make alchemy. Firstly, he had not fully digested yesterday's harvest. He still needed to review it a few times to get some useful data so that he could use it the next time he made alchemy. Secondly, he wanted to improve his cultivation. It is still his main goal and cannot be reversed. The third is that he consumed a lot of spiritual rice yesterday and still needs to leave some for consumption. The alchemy must wait for at least ten days for the new batch of spiritual rice to mature!
